this is one of the best serums I have tried. Great texture, softens fine lines and firms even the thinnest areas. Compared to other high performance serums, the price is reasonable. highly recommend this.

I had run out of a serum that my mom brought back from Korea for me and wasn't really planning on replacing it until my husband pointed out my smile lines. (I was glad he did this - it proved to me that using that serum made a difference!) Anyway, flying to Korea to repurchase was not an option so I gave this Caudalie serum a try.
I've been using Beauty Elixir for a while and love it, so I was hoping to increase the number of Caudalie products in my routine. After using this for nearly 10 months, I see no difference in my smile lines. It feels like a nice product, but I'll be moving on to something else.

so impressed with this serum. I was actually using nuskin serum..they said its for lifting blah blah blah. well didn't really quite work, i saw nothing happening and i was paying a fortune.
so i was just discovering the caudalie brand and was using the cream which i love. so i decided to splurge on the firming serum. yes it was expensive but you can actually see result! my skin slightly lifted and oh so soft.
i now use the sos thirst quenching serum then this firming serum, then cream.
my skin is saying thank u.

Never had any allergia on cosmetics, food or medicines, but voila, got an itchy swollen red face because of this serum for already several days. My eyes are very red all these days too, not sure though if this fact is connected with the serum. I thought Caudalie was one of the safest brands even for sensitive skin, so disappointed.

I have used this serum every night for about 4 months now, after washing my face. I tried this after using algenist, and my skin which is super oily and hormonal acne prone immediately began clearing up, turns out algenist was breaking me out. This goes on smooth and sinks in, not heavy at all and has a pleasant smell kind of citrusy. My skin tone has improved since using and I feel like my skin has smoothed out it didn't erase fine lines but diminishes and my skin looks tighter/firmer. It is kind of pricey for 1oz I pay $88, but really after years of trying products I found this gives results and calms my skin in the process so I will continue to buy for sure. I also use caudalie's s.o.s hydrating serum in the AM after washing I really like that too. Kind of tempted to try premier cru since it's $155 for 1.7oz so nearly the same, in any case this is a must buy item for me. The only problem is I can't see how much product is left in the pump container but really it lasts me about 2months.

I just tried a sample of this firming serum and I must say I am impressed, it sinks into the skin, smells like fresh squeezed lemon juice and absorbs very very quickly, no oils in this serum what so ever, just plant power I guess, the results and the feeling it leaves are fantastic, as for the firming qualities, although I'm not aiming for that, it seems to help shape and firm immediately.

Review: Protect your files, apps and personal data with KeePass2Android app
Protect your Android device with this free password manager.
KeePass Password Safe is the popular open-source password manager. While creative misspellings make its name the butt of jokes, strong security makes the gag not only funny but oh-so-true: Protecting your passwords is definitely CYA 101. That's what KeePass does. So KeePass users with Android devices will definitely want to check out KeePass2Android from CrocoApps. And so will you, if you have an Android smartphone or tablet and want to protect your files, apps, URLs, and other data with strong password strings (without having to type each one in every time). Like KeePass, KeePass2Android is free.
KeePass2Android's rudimentary interface has three thumb-friendly buttons: Open File, Open URL, and Create New Database. We tapped the latter, entered a name for our database (we could also change the directory), and pressed Create. Next we entered and re-entered a password (or key file) and KeePass2Android responded by displaying our newly-created database with two groups already added: eMail and Internet. We could add new groups or entries to the main list, or press to open any group and add sub-groups and entries to it. Like KeePass, the Android app can store a lot of data, including comments, extra string fields, override URLs, expiration dates, and additional strings and attachments in its data fields. Aside from the simplified, Android-specific controls, KeePass2Android works much like the Windows tool, and it's also compatible with the installed program's .kdbx file format. One option we enabled is Quick Unlock, which works just like the main program, letting us open apps quicker by entering our password once and subsequently unlocking protected files and apps with a shorter string we could configure under the Application Settings. KeePass2Android also offers Database Settings as well as the ability to change the Master Key, sort entries by creation date or name, and even translate the KP2A keyboard output.
Quick Unlock is essential for daily use. After entering our whole password once, we merely had to swipe in the first three characters and tap Quick Unlock to open protected files, quickly. Like the installed program, KeePass2Android is a keeper.

I've almost got the correspondence course on Central Core Aloe Repair completed.
Although all chapters weren't as successful as these were, my overall rate of return was well over 86.14%. Here is the chaos and carnage left over from an Aloe broomii, the end result of ignorance and benign indifference to its needs, cat fights, opossum trespasses and skunk violations. This particular plant had outgown its pot - it also healed itself, after being given some strong medicine. I then removed its dying leaves, leaving the finished-but-for-the-repotting plant. Some aloes, following Central Core Repair, form a new rosette beginning where the old one left off, effectively 'pushing' the old one out of the way. That's what happened with the Aloe broomii. The Aloe below illustrates what happens most of the time, following growing point damage, treatment and regrowth- pups are thrown. Here's what you do with a centrally rotting Aloe that you wish to save, providing it has a healthy stock and lower leaves: 1) completely core out the rotten parts - scrape, spray, cut out all the rot 2) Give the core a water blast, empty if necessary, then spray the crater with alcohol 3) while still wet with alcohol, dump some sulphur powder (flowers of sulphur - you can get it at a compounding pharmacy) in the crater 4) keep the crater dry.

If you wonder how to live in the ancient chinese building with lots of fish ponds and artificial lake, you must visit this place. The roses there were very beautiful.
Feeding the fish is more fun than you think it will be. The 'gardens' consist of a fair bit more paving and concrete than I would have expected. The exhibits are very good although the vast majority of exhibits have only Chinese explanations. It's actually two exhibits in one, separated by a short walk, you can choose to go to... More
Thousands of carps swimming around the waterway. Can buy fish food from stall inside garden. This place is large to walk about by city standard. For self-tour: take metro to Shiqiao & walk to a bus stop near shopping centre, then take No.67 to the last stop where the Garden entrance is.
A beautiful garden to relax and to enjoy art. Buy food to feed the koi. Direction: Take subway line 3 to Shiqiao station, then take bus 76 to the last stop (Baomo) or take a taxi there (taxis are very inexpensive).
This is a vast place, so allow for plenty of time if you're into Chinese painting Ned calligraphy. You'll learn about the 'precious' implements for writing. You'll be amazed by the fine art.

Does anybody have experience with sun tunnels? We are installing 2 in our rebuilding. The builder provides the tunnels. However, we took a 1st look today and found that the light coming out is blue instead of natural light. It looks like an early Holloween in our bathrooms. The builder said that is the way the tube reflectors are. The only alternative is to get foil tube but there will be less light. The glass on the tunnel is also an ugly frosted glass. We want the glass to be smoother. My wife has complained about it all afternoon. Are there any options out there to remedy this? I don't mind paying for 2 new sets as long as it makes W happy. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know if there's any way to rectify it -- but our Sun Tunnels (Velux brand) also cast a very blue-whiteish light. Since our paint color scheme is warm-toned, I'm not sure how well this is going to work... |

Sun pipe uses only galvanized/polished reflective ducting as well as galvalume roof jack. You have a choice of different difusers. |

We have the Solatube brand. I don't see any blue to the light that comes in. |
- Posted by siena_s_dad (My Page) on Wed, Oct 24, 07 at 0:27
Just checked. Our blue devil is ODL Solar Flair. Yuck. Called Solartube dealer today. Each 14'' will cost $460. They don't sell parts. Gotta buy the whole set and reinstall. |
- Posted by sierraeast (My Page) on Wed, Oct 24, 07 at 10:06
Depending on your diameter, sun pipe will sell you the galvanized reflctive ducting seperately. It does not emit blue or any other color of the spectrum, just natural light.They also have a wide variety of diffusers.We are impressed with ours ,quality product. |
Just a silly question, did the installer remove the blue protective film from the inside of the tunnel? I just installed one last week and it did cast blue until film was removed. |
Do you have any theater friends? They could get you a pink gel for next to nothing. |
Ditto on jr. There is a blue plastic film! |
Not the problem here... We did remove the blue film. And the light is more white than blue - just not as warm as I'm used to. |
- Posted by siena_s_dad (My Page) on Sun, Nov 4, 07 at 18:58
This board is so resourceful. I asked the builder whether he removed the blue film or not today and he swore he did. But he promised to double check. Actually, the light is more natural on a very sunny day, but becomes blue on a cloudy day or in late afternoon during low light. The whole diffuser looks blue. So if the blue film is not the issue, then I hope to get new ducts. Thanks a lot. |
- Posted by siena_s_dad (My Page) on Sun, Nov 4, 07 at 22:01
Oruboris, are you suggesting applying some pink gel in the tube right above the diffuser to neutralize the color of the incoming light? Is pink the best color to neutraliz blue? I suppose I can give that a shot before I toss the reflective tubes out. |
fwiw Natural daylight is quite blue compared to the yellowish light that is output by most home use light bulbs. We seem to grow accustomed to it through our windows but put a daylight fluorescent light bulb in the middle of a room and people complain about the whitish_blue light. I put a 20watt daylight fluorescent on-top of a partition wall... because at the time of purchase they didnt have any warm white lamps. A few days later swapped it with an existing 20 watt warm white tube hidden over the kitchen sink. |
You could use any color you liked, but pink is usually the favored color for natural, healthy looking skin tones. If you find a source [online theatrical supply?], you might want to get a couple different colors to try. In the world of film photography, portraits are usually shot on pink toned kodak film as opposed to the cooler Fuji film. For outdoor shots, the light at dawn tends to be quite pink, noon is blue, and dusk is golden. Our brains actually have built in color correction so we don't notice this. It's why a film photograph indoors without flash looks so wierd-- yellow under incandescent light, greenish under flourescent. The light hasn't changed, our preception of it has. But when we have two different light sources in one space, the brain tends to 'normalize' the dominant one, and declare the other 'wrong'. |
- Posted by siena_s_dad (My Page) on Wed, Dec 5, 07 at 14:52
Just want to report back the results of my experiment. Taking oruboris's advice, I consulted my photograher friend. He picked out the yellow Rosco lighting gel for me. It is a 24''x24'' thin square piece of film at a cost of $6.95 each. The staff at the Palo Alto photograhy store also agreed that yellow gel was the best to neutralize blue light. I went with it since our bathroom is painted yellow. There are many Rosco series. I just pick up whatever they have in store. You can also order online. I had the contractors cut them and place them right over the diffuser. Lo and behold, the light coming down the celing warmed up instantly. There is about a 15% loss in the brightness. But the blue is gone and the tone is softer and warmer. Wife is happy. So $14 and this board do the job of what would have been a $1,500 replacment. Thank you for helping, guys. |
I'm thrilled that it worked! Since originally posting to this thread, I had a cheap brand installed in my main bath. Because it receives no direct sun, it is a very cool, 'sky' blue... So I'll probably end up taking my own advice! |
adding this to an old thread: We had 2 Tubular skylights installed yesterday (9/19/13). I was shocked and extremely disappointed seeing the blue fluorescent light cast, nothing like the natural sunlight I was expecting. I knew I could not live with this and needed to find a way to get rid of the blueness and soften the starkness of the light coming through. I found the product Rosco Lighting Gel (but it is not a gel or liquid) very good advice. I bought it through a Theatrical Lighting center near by and found out it is very commonly used for stage lighting effects and photography. It comes in hundreds of different colors and basically a very thin sheet of plastic. I used the glass circle as a pattern, traced around it, and then cut the circle out with a pair of scissors. Start to finish...just taking a couple of minutes and the price per sheet of Lighting Gel was $6. Inexpensive, easy fix ! I first tried a very pale shade of yellow, better... but was still disappointed as it now cast a slight green hue. I went back to the store and bought a very faint Caucasian "flesh" color, that worked perfect. The actual color is R3410. It completely softened the harshness so now no hint of blue/fluorescent casting whatsoever. Rosco Lighting Gel is easily available, I have 2 stores within 3 miles of my Southern California home or I'm sure it can be purchased on line as well if you google it. |
Thanks for the tip! |
Has anyone ever tried to paint the tube white to reduce the florescent like quality of the light? |

The comparison with industry practices includes, but is not limited to the following areas:
the degree of characterization necessary for secondary waste (chemical agent and non-agent) produced during the stockpile disposal and/or storage operations, which is treated on-site or handled and shipped off-site for further treatment or disposal;
the number and types of trial burns/compliance tests for chemical stockpile incineration-based disposal facilities and the neutralization-based disposal facility on both a site-by-site basis and programmatically recognizing that the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act has provisions for using prior data;
feed-rate restrictions to which chemical agent disposal facilities are subject for post trial burns;
the extent and number of health risk assessments deemed necessary;
criteria being considered for shipment of agent contaminated wastes for final treatment/disposal;
facility closure requirements; and
the comparison will address site-specific situations concerning CDFs as well as program-wide considerations of the Chemical Materials Agency with regard to stockpile disposal operations.
The membership of the Committee on Review of Chemical Agent Secondary Waste Disposal and Regulatory Requirements included experts in environmental chemistry, hazardous waste management, transportation safety, risk analysis, toxicology, civil engineering, environmental law, chemical process engineering, industrial process technology, environmental management, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Biographical sketches for committee members are presented in Appendix A.
During the course of the study, presentations and written information on secondary waste practices and regulatory requirements were received from a multitude of organizations that included individual Army facilities, Army contractors, industrial facilities, regulatory authorities, and other organizations involved with waste management.
The committee met in Washington, D.C. (August 2006); Tooele, Utah (September 2006); Washington, D.C. (December 2006); Irvine, California (January 2007); and Washington, D.C. (February 2007). In addition to these full committee meetings, small teams of four to six people from the committee also conducted fact-finding site visits to chemical agent disposal facilities in Anniston, Alabama (October 2006); Umatilla, Oregon (November 2006); and Newport, Indiana (November 2006). Visits and discussions on hazardous waste practices also took place at the Clean Harbors Aragonite hazardous waste incineration facility (Aragonite, Utah) and at the Chemical Waste Management of the Northwest, Inc., landfill (Arlington, Oregon). Additional details on the committee's meetings and activities are included in Appendix B.
Representatives from the committee also met with state regulatory officials in Alabama, Indiana, Oregon, and Utah during the site visits. Their discussions centered on state regulatory requirements impacting local facilities and any perceived secondary waste issues for the chemical agent disposal facilities. Committee members also met with representatives from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, representatives from three local Citizens Advisory Commissions (CACs) in Newport, Tooele, and Umatilla, and other public officials (Anniston) to gauge local public perception of secondary waste practices, regulatory requirements, and any associated issues that might emerge at the disposal facilities.
Chapter 1 provides a background overview of the issues surrounding management of secondary waste at chemical agent disposal facilities. The report focuses on the four operating facilities that are based on incineration as the primary destruction technology. It also covers the one other active facility, which uses neutralization (hydrolysis) as the primary destruction technology.3 Chapter 1 also briefly describes the chemical processes in these chemical agent disposal facilities and the types, sources, and volumes of secondary waste handled. Importantly, Chapter 1 also summarizes federal and state regulatory requirements for managing the hazardous waste from both the Army's facilities and similar industrial facilities, as well as site-specific permits requirements. Key issues and comparisons central to this report are addressed in the two chapters that follow. Chapter 2 addresses trial burns and health risk assessment. It compares the experience of the Army's chemical agent disposal facilities with that of industrial facilities practicing similar technologies. Chapter 3 characterizes the

By Targeting Unions, Lawmakers Risk Lowering Wages for Workers
Weakening unions will be a top priority for state lawmakers when they next meet in January, according to new statements by legislative leaders. Unions help workers achieve higher wages, and limiting unions' abilities to advocate for workers could make it harder for some families to climb the economic ladder.
Unionized workers earn more in wages and other compensation than non-union workers who are otherwise the same in education, industry, age, and other factors. Union workers earn $1.24 more per hour, or 13.6% more than other similarly-situated workers who are not in unions, according to an 2012 analysis by the Economic Policy Institute. For a full-time worker, that wage difference adds up to nearly $2,600 per year.
In addition to earning more money, union workers are better off than their counterparts with regards to health insurance, retirement, and paid time off. Union workers are more likely to:
- have employer-sponsored health insurance, including coverage after retirement;
- have smaller health insurance deductibles;
- have lower health insurance premium costs;
- have a pension; and
- have more paid time off.
Cutting Taxes on Rich, Raising Them for Others Won't Boost Wisconsin Economy
The best way to create jobs and build a broad-based prosperity in Wisconsin is to invest in excellent schools, safe communities, and a solid transportation network.
But a new report released today takes a different approach, claiming that giving big tax cuts to the rich and raising taxes for others would help the Wisconsin economy. The report, released by the conservative Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, repeats the myth that tax cuts create jobs, despite growing evidence to the contrary.
The report advocates changing the state's tax mix to rely less on the income tax and more on the sales tax, a change the group says would boost the state's economy. But what the report fails to mention is that the result would be big tax cuts for people with the highest incomes and higher taxes for everyone else. If Wisconsin eliminated the income tax and raised the sales tax to make up for the resulting revenue loss, the top 1% of earners in Wisconsin – a group with an average income of $1.1 million – would get a tax cut of a whopping $44,000 on average.

Wisconsin's Slow Economic Recovery Leaves Many Behind
Wisconsin's gradual economic recovery still hasn't substantially expanded economic opportunity for working people and families. Median incomes are still well below their pre-recession level, and our state's elevated poverty levels have yet to begin declining.
Standard and Poor's Says Inequality Suppresses Economic Growth and State Revenue
Concerns about increases in income inequality were voiced from a surprising perspective today, when Standard and Poor's (the bond rating agency) issued a lengthy report titled "Income Inequality Weighs On State Tax Revenues." The report concludes that "disparity is contributing to weaker tax revenue growth by weakening the rate of overall economic expansion."
The authors offer this explanation for the correlation between income disparities and economic growth:
"…rising income inequality is a macroeconomic factor that acts as a drag on growth. There is evidence, although not conclusive at this point, that the higher savings rates of those with high incomes causes aggregate consumer spending to suffer. And since one person's spending is another person's income, the result is slower overall personal income growth despite continued strong income gains at the top."
An article in today's Washington Post sums up the findings in clearer terms:
"Even as income has accelerated for the affluent, it has barely kept pace with inflation for most other people. Read more
The 58,000 Job Question
New Report Takes Comprehensive Look at Weaknesses, Strengths of Wisconsin's Labor Market
Wisconsin's economy is adding jobs at a slow pace, wage growth has stalled, and many workers don't have the security and opportunity they need to get ahead, according to a new Labor Day report released from the Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS).
The report, "The State of Working Wisconsin, 2014," provides a thorough examination of Wisconsin job numbers, wages, poverty, and job quality.
The information on Wisconsin job growth that is included in this report is helpful in deciphering the claims of political candidates who have helped bring a great deal of attention to jobs figures. The report notes that in many ways the hardships for Wisconsin workers mirror the troubles in the national economy. But beginning in 2011, rates of job growth in Wisconsin have fallen behind the national average:
"From January 2011 to June 2014, Wisconsin gained 109,200 jobs, posting growth in the labor market of 4.0 percent.
New Evidence that the Rich Have Prospered while the Poor Got Poorer
Rich Americans are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The top 20% of Americans have been enjoying most of the economic gains over the last decade, but the median net worth of most Americans has actually decreased.
To Reduce Income Inequality and Boost Economic Growth, Make sure every Student has an Opportunity to Attend College
Rising levels of income inequality are acting as a drag on the U.S. economy, but we can counter the economic harm by expanding opportunities to attend college, according to a new report from Standard & Poor's, a financial services company.
Here's the crux of the report, in a sentence:
Our review of the data, as well as a wealth of research on this matter, leads us to conclude that the current level of income inequality in the U.S. is dampening GDP growth, at a time when the world's biggest economy is struggling to recover from the Great Recession and the government is in need of funds to support an aging population.
Pretty clear, right? Prominent policymakers, including President Obama, have warned time and again that high levels of income inequality are slowing economic growth. This report adds something new to the conversation in that it represents the viewpoint of a private sector company, and could be an indication that the business community is starting to view income inequality as a problem.

Corporations to ALEC: Stop Us before We Extort Again
Conservatives Critique "Tax Cronyism," and Progressives Critique the ALEC Report
I was pleasantly surprised to learn recently that the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has issued a report calling on policymakers to end the wasteful subsidies given to corporations by state and local governments. Their report titled The Unseen Costs of Tax Cronyism: Favoritism and Foregone Growth criticizes special tax breaks for certain companies, which it points out tend to increase the tax burden on other companies and put them at a competitive disadvantage.
Corporations are very good at extorting costly subsidies from state and local officials, but some of those corporations and a growing number of policymakers are realizing that these incentives aren't an effective way to promote economic growth. As WCCF intern Jelicia Diggs wrote in a recent WI Budget Project blog post, a number of businesses in the Kansas City area have prevailed on Missouri legislators to call a ceasefire to the use of incentives for pirating corporations across the border with Kansas.

New Report: How Wisconsin Lawmakers Have Broken with Tradition and Undermined a Legacy of Investment
Four years ago Wisconsin was made a promise. The promise was that the best way to generate economic growth was through significant tax and spending cuts. The tax and spending cuts have occurred, but unfortunately for all of us, the promised job growth has not.
That's the conclusion of a new Budget Project report released today, called "Breaking with Tradition: How Wisconsin Lawmakers Have Shortchanged a Legacy of Investment in the State's Future." The new report reviews the many changes policymakers have made recently in how Wisconsin supports it schools, communities, and workforce.
Lawmakers have made dramatic tax cuts since 2011, totaling $1.9 billion over four years. But the value of the tax cuts was not equitably distributed. Half the value of the major tax cuts packages in 2013 and 2014 went to the top 20% of taxpayers by income, and the remaining 80% shared the other half.
The tax cuts have contributed to deep cuts to public schools and higher education in Wisconsin. Read more
Immigrants Offset Population and Workforce Losses in Wisconsin Cities
Immigrants are playing a very important role in boosting cities in Wisconsin and across the Midwest, according to a report issued last month. The recent report, written by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, analyzed 2000 and 2010 decennial census data and found that the arrival of immigrants over the last decade helped reverse a trend of declining populations in cities throughout the Midwest.
Here are some of the highlights of the report, "Growing the Heartland: How Immigrants Offset Population Decline and an Aging Workforce in Midwest Metropolitan Areas," pertaining to Midwest metropolitan areas:
- Over the last decade alone, the region's foreign born population rose 27.4% (from 3.5 million to 4.5 million).
- Immigrant population growth accounts for 38% of metropolitan area growth in the Midwest.
- Only 67% of native-born Midwesterners live in metro-areas, compared to 88% of immigrants.
- Although this region's native-born population in the 35-to-44 age group saw a 20.6% decrease between 2000 and 2010, the immigrant population in that age range experienced a 44.2% increase.

This has cropped up from time to time and I wanted to know why. Some recipies say to add (for example) 3lbs of dry malt extract and bring to a boil, then as a late addition add 3.75 lbs of liquid malt extract. Is there some reason that this must be done? I try not to use liquid malt extract (don't quite know why) can I just substatue with dry malt extract and still do the late edition or can I even just skip the late edition and add it right before I boil. Is the late edition to compinsate for lost enzymes or something? (side question, what's a good "roiling boil" temp? 190 degrees?)
Brewer for Hoppin' Frog Brewery. "I am not an alcoholic, Im a drunk. An alcoholic means that I have a problem and when I drink all my problems go away."
In Cleveland a rolling boil is 212+, cranked to the gills and guns blazing. You want as hard a boil as you get to really agitate that wort, break down the proteins and assimilate those alpha acids. Late addition on Dry or Liquid reduces the caramelization than can occur with extracts. This minimizes the off flavors associated with that. Yes you can sub Dry for liquid but you want to compensate for the for the different water content by reducing the Dry by ~20%. The only reason not to do this is the expense.
Less carmelization of the wort and improved hop utilization. If you do a late extract addition, your hop utilization is about the same as if you did a full volume boil, so you save 20-30% on bittering hops.
It's mainly to lighten the color. I've also noticed that heavily caramelized extract changes the flavor of the beer a bit. Just remember to remove the pot from heat when adding LME to avoid scorching.
im as new as it gets around here, so im not being a jerk, but if you search late extract addition, a ton of threads will pop up completely explaining everything about the procedure. and dme and lme are the same except 2.75lbs dme = 3.3lbs lme... people seem like like dme more because of less 'twang' and its doesnt have a tendency to carmalize as much....please correct me if i am wrong anybody
Fantastic. I had no idea. Thanks. And yes Beersmith is on the list of things to get

Former Colombian President A*lvaro Uribe defended himself against
eavesdropping accusations
Former Colombian president A*lvaro Uribe reiterated his accusations
against Venezuelan President Hugo ChA!vez for financially supporting
activities of Colombian ex congresswoman Piedad CA^3rdoba, during a
hearing at the parliamentarian committee probing Uribe for alleged
Uribe stated that CA^3rdoba received financial support from multinational
company MonA^3meros Colombo-Venezolanos, Efe reported.
The contributions were disclosed by the Colombian press, which in 2008
informed that said company, a holding of Venezuelan state-run oil company
Pdvsa, gave CA^3rdoba USD 135,000.
CA^3rdoba, a former senator for the Liberal party, admitted at that time
having received such amount of money for her campaign to free hostages
held by the Colombian Revolutionary Army Forces (FARC).
On his part, Uribe said before the Committee of Inquiry and Accusations,
House of Representatives, that such money was intended "to destabilize
Colombian politics."
Uribe added that a year before he had coped with a "difficult situation"
with CA^3rdoba, in connection with ChA!vez's participation in the
unilateral handover of FARC's hostages.
With respect to the accusations of eavesdropping and harassment of
magistrates and opposition leaders, Uribe said, "I was on justice's side."
He tried to explain he had not conducted any surveillance and intimidation
operations through the State Intelligence Service (DAS), attached to the
President's Office.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brown, Medium Eyes: Blue
The full name of this product is "The Supernatural Windows to the Soul Eye Shadow Palette in Box of Truffles." Whew! At any rate, it's a very handy set of shadows. The shades are Latte (matte eggshell), Mocha (matte, cool deep beige), Cocoa (shimmery warm medium brown), and Chocolate (cool deep brown). You can do a number of looks from this little mirrored compact, from (pardon the expression) supernatural to a glam smoky eye. Chocolate can be used wet as a liner, and Cocoa adds a little extra to any look. The shadows are not the smoothest--say, compared to Edward Bess's--but they're not chalky, either. The compact is about 4 x 3 inches, has a nicely sized mirror in the lid, and comes with a serviceable brush. This configuration came in several colors, including gradations of gray and purple, but as usual Philosophy has discontinued it. (I wish they would decide what kind of company they want to be--skincare, bath & body, cosmetics, or all three.) But I love this, use it often, and would repurchase if it were available.

Joy and ecstasy of relief was followed by a tousled mixture of extreme affection and trembling fear. A shell-like egg was found well cushioned by the purple leaves of a Tumboa shrub, nested in the thick vegetation of an aloof valley on the edge of the sparkling forest. This versed, well grown Tumboa bush was the first to be intrigued by this capsule of luring potential. The sweet voice of this unborn lucid robin that cheered through its shell, expertly penetrating the brain muscles of affection in each living being in reach of this young telepathic mind.
Puzzled by this new defiance, the raining sparkles fuzzed, electrified by the heating argument between the individual elements of the collective mind. A child of an alien species, but somehow native, it is about to peck through its egg and crop out into this imaginary forrest. It will be a foreign place to its young mind but more familiar then any other, as all is his as much as he is part of us.
Ravishing the collective imagination this egg planted the cornerstone for a new era of diversity, inspiring the inventive mind of the Matuhi and through it expanding the possibilities of this imaginary land called the sparkling forest.
This piece was shown at MMK Zollamt Frankfurt as part of the Graduation show of the Städelschule.

One of my favorite moments in author Julia CameronŌĆÖs new book -- titled The Creative Life, True Tales of Inspiration -- is when she introduces the reader to Nigel. That is the name she has given to her persistent inner critic.
ŌĆ£Nigel can be very persuasive,ŌĆØ Cameron told me in our recent interview. ŌĆ£You would think that after all these years I would just know Nigel and dismiss him, but Nigel keeps getting smarter.ŌĆØ
I tell her that one day last spring while writing my Morning Pages -- a tool she teaches in her bestselling book The ArtistŌĆÖs Way that involves three pages of stream of consciousness writing each morning -- I had a shouting match of sorts with my own inner critic who I call Mathilda. I felt her trying to sabotage me at a pivotal time and I ranted on the page until I was exhausted. It worked, I tell Cameron. I felt like I exorcised Mathilda.
ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt be surprised if she rises from the grave,ŌĆØ Cameron said.
I groaned, but this woman knows of what she speaks. She has written over 30 books, among them three bestsellers on the creative process -- The ArtistŌĆÖs Way, Walking in This World and Finding Water -- along with a memoir, fiction, plays and poetry.
ŌĆ£Artists have critics and must walk through the fear that the critic invokes,ŌĆØ Cameron said. ŌĆ£People come to me, sometimes theyŌĆÖre expecting to be taught how to be fearless. They think IŌĆÖm fearless. I say, ŌĆśNo, no, I create despite the fear.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
This is why her tools are designed to teach artists how to move through fear. She does her Morning Pages seven days a week. For those squeamish about having all those personal thoughts in concrete form after they die, she recommends this line in their will: Cremate the Morning Pages, then worry about the body.
With this latest book, essentially a creative diary, the reader is privy to CameronŌĆÖs world and, subsequently, her process. We see her life in action, entrenched in the philosophy that is woven through her books and teachings, using the tools that have unblocked and unleashed countless artists. She is collaborating, lunching, taking piano lessons, encouraging and partaking in othersŌĆÖ creative ventures, teaching and, of course, writing.
All of it amounts to what she calls in The ArtistŌĆÖs Way, ŌĆ£filling the well.ŌĆØ That means living, for what is there to express if we are not doing that? So often as creatives we question our need for space to think and be; others rarely understand, perceiving our schedules as ŌĆ£light.ŌĆØ As one friend wisely put it, ŌĆ£When my wife thinks IŌĆÖm not doing anything, IŌĆÖm writing. When she thinks IŌĆÖm writing, IŌĆÖm typing.ŌĆØ
CameronŌĆÖs latest book is sweet validation of just what its title says, The Creative Life. What makes Cameron remarkable in 2010 is that she has sustained it. As I turned the pages, I kept thinking, ŌĆ£Her lifeŌĆÖs rhythm resembles mine. This is what itŌĆÖs about.ŌĆØ
And by that I donŌĆÖt just mean the juicy aspects. ThereŌĆÖs the self-doubt that the book sheŌĆÖs working on is going nowhere. The student in a class sheŌĆÖs teaching that tells her sheŌĆÖs getting nothing from it. The 43 submissions it took to get her novel published. The honesty about how happy she is that she got sober. The projects she starts, puts down, and then resuscitates.
One moment of particular interest is CameronŌĆÖs observation about herself after watching Nora EphronŌĆÖs film, Julie and Julia. A former friend of EphronŌĆÖs, she mentions to her friends that she and Ephron knew each other as fledgling writers when they were in their 20s. Ephron went on to make movies and Cameron admits to feelings of jealousy. Readers of The ArtistŌĆÖs Way know Cameron considers jealousy a road map and so she walks her talk as the story unfolds.
ŌĆ£It tells me that I wish I were making movies, too,ŌĆØ Cameron writes.
But it is books that Cameron is producing and in that she has become a writerŌĆÖs writer. She calls The ArtistŌĆÖs Way an artistŌĆÖs support kit.
ŌĆ£People definitely needed these tools in order to be able to go forward,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I think of myself as a cheering section for artists and theyŌĆÖre so grateful for the support, especially actors. Actors have a really tough road and they really appreciate The ArtistŌĆÖs Way.ŌĆØ
Cameron is heartened by the positive feedback sheŌĆÖs been getting on the latest book because it has found its place and distinguished itself among her vast body of work.
ŌĆ£People seem to love getting to peek behind the veil,ŌĆØ Cameron said. ŌĆ£I guess IŌĆÖm a little surprised at how popular the book is. It seems to be reinforcing for people, which is what IŌĆÖd hoped. It seems to in a way give people permission to try and build their life more centrally around their art and particularly to look for ŌĆśbelieving mirrors,ŌĆÖ people who feed back to them their potential and power. My life is filled with believing mirrors that IŌĆÖve collected over the years.ŌĆØ
Cameron challenges the mythology of artist as loner, citing Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald as friends, and Tennessee Williams and Carson McCullers, also friends and believing mirrors for each other.
It occurs to me as Cameron speaks that so much of what we do as life coaches involves serving as believing mirrors for our clients. But it is truly more my writer self that responds to The Creative Life. What I already knew but saw more clearly while reading the book is this: As artists, we delude ourselves if we envision hitting a pinnacle and then resting somehow. The art keeps coming and it is our duty to heed the call.
Nigel and Mathilda, be damned.

We heat our home with a pellet stove in our unfinished basement. We're in the process of finishing it and I plan on putting in a drop ceiling to allow the heat to continue to go through the basement ceiling. Does anyone know of a ceiling tile made for, or is most efficient at allowing movement of heat through it? Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you. |

As Robert Frost knew well, the road less travelled is often the more interesting choice – at least when it comes to talking about one's travels. In order to find some routes both less-trodden and worth bragging about, we asked the users at question-and-answer site Quora "What are the world's most interesting roads?"
While some readers described routes that traverse one of the world's coldest regions, or tunnels that only measure 4m wide, other respondents took our question to its limit, recommending roads that were not only interesting, but dangerous as well. In those cases, the roads are less frequented for a reason: read on for terrifying drop-offs, unpredictable mudslides and a complete lack of concrete paving.
National Road 5, Madagascar
For National Road 5, which runs north-south between the towns of Maroantsetra (pictured here) and Soanierana-Ivongo on the African country's east coast, "you need to hire both a driver and a mechanic," said Anders Alm, chief technology officer for WAU, a travel agency that provides regular trips to the area. If you're "bored of concrete", he added, this drive – which he called "the worst road in the world" – would be one way to change it up.
With sections of sand, solid rock and even worn-down bridges that drivers must inspect before crossing, the 200km road takes nearly 24 hours to drive. It turns especially treacherous during the rainy season (December to March), when the lack of asphalt or concrete paving leads the road to become impassable in many spots.
The upside? Most of National Road 5 runs along the white sand coastline, providing spectacular views of palm tree forests and the Indian Ocean.

Rohtang Pass, India
Rohtang means literally, "pile of corpses" – a name that stems from the deadly mudslides that often cover the 4,000m-high road in the eastern Himalayas. Not to mention the area's generally unpredictable weather, including snowstorms and sudden avalanches.
"Each season, road crews use GPS to find the road and dig it out again," said Witold Chrab, a Washington DC-based engineer who drove a motorcycle across the pass in 2011. Once cleared, the pass generally remains open from May to November – though snow can make it impassable at any time; in 2010 it left 300 tourists stranded. An 8km tunnel is being constructed beneath the pass to provide a safer option, but the original route, which connects the Kulu, Lahual and Spiti valleys in northernmost India, lures visitors with views of rugged mountain ranges, sprawling valleys and even a mountain goat or two.

Transfăgărășan Road, Romania
While well-known in the world of auto enthusiasts – its 90km of hairpin turns and dramatic descents earned it the title of "best road in the world" by the BBC Top Gear crew – fewer casual drivers know of Romania's second-highest road. Built as a military route in case of an invasion in the 1970s, the road connects the two tallest mountains in the Southern Carpathians, Moldoveanu and Negoiu, and ascends a total of 2,034m in altitude.
"If you like changing gears every three or four seconds, you know it's fun," said Romanian native Razvan Baba. Even more fun? Nobody tends to be around to enforce the 40km/h speed limit, Baba said – though the hairpins make it tough to go much faster.

Eyre Highway, Australia
Carl Logan, a police officer from Perth, warned readers that this 684-mile stretch in southern Australia might seem "plain and boring" at first glance, but actually holds plenty of adventure – particularly with its animals. "You might see kangaroos, emus and sometimes even camels," he said. The wildlife also makes the route riskier, as a wandering animal can seriously damage an oncoming car.
The most dangerous time to take on the highway – which runs between the towns of Norseman and Ceduna – is dawn or dusk, when most wildlife attempts to cross the road. But those who do drive at nightfall will be rewarded. "Because there is no civilisation, the night stars will be the brightest you've ever seen," Logan said.
